Sick Humor

We have a friend who is having rectal cancer surgery tomorrow, and we are very concerned about him. That didn't stop some of us from from being gross:

Dad: They are hoping that all the cancer is in a polyp, so he can be cancer free after the surgery.
Brennen: All's well that ends well!
Aerin: Better out than in, I always say!

[Note: Happy news! All was well and our friend is cancer free.]

Primary

Today I substituted as Aerin's Primary teacher. The class: Aerin and three boys. May I take a moment to express appreciation for my daughter.

Adjective vs. Noun Confusion

Our friends are expecting, and last week they found out the sex of the baby. Aerin said, "That's to see if the baby is cute."

Favorite Gift

Aerin's favorite birthday gift was from her Dear Old Dad. DOD is still in trouble with the rest of the family.

Tormenting Big Brother

Aerin drew a sign for Brennen's door: A lovely green meadow, under a blue sky, with a single red flower. It is titled The Friends Club. I think she is saying that Brennen and his aide, Jeremy, aren't very friendly sometimes.

Paying Job

Aerin has her first paying job, helping a neighbor one afternoon a week. Aerin plays with the one-year-old so the mom can get things done.

Hungry Girl

This morning Aerin said, "Every morning I think I should have lunch right after I finish breakfast and my chores. I'm hungry. I digest quickly."
